vike daddy Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 (edited) a thread to discuss the playoff games and the teams in them. if we have a separate thread for each week, that just pushes other threads off the page. Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is in for a new experience on Saturday night. Tagovailoa said at a Wednesday press conference that he thinks “a little lower than 20" degrees is the coldest weather he’s played in during his career and the forecast in Kansas City calls for temperatures below that and a wind chill that would make it feel like less than zero. Tagovailoa joked that he’s not planning on hitting Dan Marino up for any Isotoner gloves and said he believes “the whole thing is a mindset” that he will see what it feels like on the field before seeing what they might have to do differently. Tagovailoa: “I think it’s just a feel of how everything is, what the ball feels like, what throwing feels like, what holding the ball feels like, if there’s wind, if there’s not wind, you have to take all those things into consideration. But we’ll go there, we’ll test it out and we’ll see what we have to do as far as adjusting or not.” https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/tua-tagovailoa-on-playing-in-cold-test-it-out-see-what-we-have-to-adjust Edited February 3 by vike daddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the only indication I have that he was insane. 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I tell people all the time...once you hit -5, anything lower than that you really can't tell...hell, it was right before the pandemic when my wife and I were in AK (right in @ArcticNorseman's neighborhood, we went up to the Arctic Circle and it was about -45 up there at the time, but really could tell much difference from when it was about 5 above zero earlier in the day. I still can't get over the indigenous girl we had seen a few hours earlier at the last truck stop before the circle who was wearing shorts and a t-shirt when it was zero. 🤣 Edited January 11 by swede700 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a statin drug would help. Edited January 11 by Captain Relax 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GermanVike Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 A Miami win would be rather unexpected, although they do have a good ground game, which may be the difference in that weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine too many, but if they're bold enough to take on the weather, the ticket prices have dropped like a rock...I was talking to my auto mechanic yesterday and he got tickets for $55...and I've heard they're as low as $45. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, this the reason schools get canceled in my area. The buses can’t safely function in those subzero conditions. We rarely, if ever close the schools due to snow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted January 12 Author Share Posted January 12 The forecast for Saturday night in Kansas City started bad, and it has gotten worse. The kickoff temperature and the potential wind chill keeps dropping and dropping for Dolphins-Chiefs. Currently, the high for Saturday (per Weather.com) is 8 degrees, with a low of -9. The kickoff at temperature, according to the iPhone weather app, is below zero. The wind chill will be in the neighborhood of 25 below. It will be one of the coldest games in league history. As noted by Joe Schad of the Palm Beach Post, it will be the coldest game ever for the Dolphins. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/forecast-for-dolphins-chiefs-keeps-getting-worse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
